As an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teacher you would help students to learn or improve their English skills and their knowledge of western culture. An EFL teacher teaches English to people whose first or main language is not English. If you enjoy meeting people from different countries and cultures, and you want a teaching role, an EFL teaching job could be perfect for you.

You will need a superior level of English, and most employers will expect you to have a degree or a qualification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). You will also need patience and a good sense of humor. You could specialize in teaching English for Special Purposes (ESP), such as business or IELTS/TOEFL test preparation.

On TeachOverseas.ca, you may find that some jobs, courses, etc. use terms other than EFL such as ESL, TESL, TESOL, ESOL and TEFL. These are all different labels for teaching English to people who do not speak English as a first language.
